Using Photobucket to upload pictures.

[Sparky]

(with the new software, photo uploading should be easy, however if some of you would prefer to upload your photos to another website and then link to them, the information below will be very useful.)

This tutorial is for those who have trouble uploading pictures to your PC/forum.

First of all you need a camera that can upload pictures into your computer. Usually a USB cable is needed.

OK to start this off register here at http://www.photobucket.com

Look at the top right corner and you will find the Join Now button.

To upload pictures from your computer. Look for something that looks like this.

Look for the 4 tabs on the top: images from my PC, video, web url, mobile phone. Right now I'm just going to teach you how to upload pictures from your PC.

Select the images from PC tabs. Press browse and look for your picture you just uploaded or saved from the internet. Once you found your picture press upload and wait for your pictures to upload.

Once you've uploaded your picture look for it in your album. It should show up below the uploading table. After you've found your picture look under it and find IMG Code. Copy that code and paste it anywhere on the forum.

After you pasted the IMG code do not meddle with it as the image might not show up. However, you can still type after the code.

If there is anything you do not understand, please just say so.

I hope I helped. Do not hesitate to ask any questions.

Sparky you are wonderful, this is twice I've seen you do this. Are you going to be a teacher? This could be a Sticky, it took Rick to coach me thru doing this, and God knows, Asa wants to post so this will really help him :wink: Oh! i just noticed after posting this, the other time I seen it was in an email to me :roll: :idea:

Sparky, nice work! Fantastic tutorial. I think I will sticky this for people to refer back to.

 

[Asa]

Woohoo! Time to see Asa's picture!

I'm not convinced.

 

[Sparky]

Well at least post some mantid photos :wink:

 

[OGIGA]

...Especially now that you can't complain that you don't know how to put pictures here...

 

[Asa]

Ya but my camera sucks.

 

[bubforever]

Ya but my camera sucks.

All the better for you, then the picture will be poor quality so we can see what you look like but still not be able to recognize you publicaly

 

[Asa]

Oh please. Aren't we getting a bit off topic?

 

[Sparky]

Yeah, stop talking about Asa before he becomes popular :lol:

Oh and if you want to post pictures from the web.

1. Use google images and find a picture you want.

2. copy the URL

3. Paste it to the uploading table. You may have to press upload twice.

Once when the icon shows up and once again to actually upload it.

And there you go

That's it! I'll just upload a picture of a guy on google images, and you guys will all think it's me! Great idea!
